Tenere 700

The Ténéré 700 transplants the MT-07's CP2 engine into the most off-road-capable chassis in the mid-adventure class — slim, 452 lbs, and genuinely effective in technical terrain with switchable ABS at a 34.6-inch seat height designed for standing. Shorter riders should test-sit before committing; the rally ergonomics are purpose-built for off-road use, not comfort on the highway.
